Sometimes your skin simply needs more than your daily routine . More moisture. More rest. More glow. That's where face masks come in. But not all masks are created equal – and depending on which one you choose and how you use it , the results can vary significantly.
Here you will learn about the different types of masks , when they make sense and how to use them correctly so that your skin visibly benefits.
Sheet masks – a quick boost of freshness
Sheet masks are like a big glass of water for your skin. Ideal if it feels dry, tired or stressed – or if you simply want to look instantly fresher.
You apply it, lean back, and let the serum do its work. Meanwhile, the moisture is effectively locked into the skin.
Here's how to get the most out of it:
Apply the sheet mask to cleansed skin and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Then simply remove it and gently pat in the remaining essence. Do not rinse it off – that's the most important part.
Perfect for days when your skin says "meh", but you want "glow".

Hydrogel masks – luxury you can see
Hydrogel masks feel instantly different. Cooler. Heavier. More intense. They adhere more closely to the skin and release their active ingredients particularly evenly.
Many people love using them before special occasions – because afterwards the skin looks plumper, smoother and simply fresher.
Application:
Apply to cleansed skin, relax, and leave on for 30 minutes to 4 hours. Then remove and pat in any residue. Again, do not rinse.
If your skin is sensitive or tends to feel tight, hydrogel masks are often a very good choice.

Wash-off masks – a reset for your skin
These masks are perfect if your skin looks "overloaded." Too much sebum, clogged pores, an uneven complexion. Wash-off masks help restore balance.
They are applied, work for a short time – and then washed off. Afterwards, the skin often feels clearer, fresher and smoother.
Here's how to use them correctly:
Apply evenly to a cleansed face, avoiding the eye area, leave on briefly, and rinse with lukewarm water. Follow with toner and moisturizer.
Ideal as a short detox moment in between.
